After sufferin' years with erratic dial up, Cricket, (USB Modem),
started covering the area last November of 2009. Best signal
strength was two and sometimes three bars. Service was pretty
dependable up until April of this year. Then it started to go
downhill finally failing completely a few days ago.
Modem would not mount as a CD on the Powerbook G4 1.25MHz. After
hanging up, decided to try it on the desktop, G4 400MHz Gigabit and
yep, it mounted there. (As an aside, the modem contains the
initialization/set up s/w. Only problem here is that the Gigabit
only has USB I as opposed to USB II on the PowerBook.
Ok. So something is foo on the PowerBook. Other USB devices work
ok? Other USB mountable devices work ok? Finder is set to display
such volumes on your desktop?
Launch Console.app and set it to view the system log. Then plug in
the modem... and see what error messages get thrown.
